Important public events are major business opportunities for all sorts of people, including prostitutes. Not even religious events make an exception from this rule. For instance, the Council of Constance (1414-1418) not only attracted clerics and pious laypersons from all over Europe but also more than a thousand prostitutes. The Swedish would have objected to the Council of Constance too, I suppose.
